Hello Simon, I'm your big fan Italian. First, I want you my compliments. You are unique.My question though it may be stupid, for me it is not.In 2004, my favorite guitarist, Dimebag Darrell, died during a concert and since then I have not ever recover.This year, however, Roy has left Kamelot, and this thing has destroyed.What advice could you give me to go on, to react in some way?Sorry for my poor English.Thanks in advance.I love you.

Have you changed your vision about the heavy metal scene since you became a part of Epica? I mean, when you were on stage at the beginning of the band, your attitude was completely different than it is today. Have you noticed something changing, or it is just something that happens naturally? Do you still enjoy being there or wish you were doing something else, like being a make up guru or something that may fit your dreams better? Greeting from Brazil, we love you so much!

Simone, when you're up to compose a song and write some lyrics, do you have to be passing through a moment in your life to get inspiration or do you think about a "theme" and write about it? Or it can be both? Love you, Renan.

Hey SimoneI went to your show in Kentucky last November. (sorry you had to play in such a crappy venues) my question is... Could you please tell the tour people to give you guys a big orchestra as you travel accross America? Cause you guys deserve it! You're music is so freaking amazing! Plus you're gorgeous which brings in the crowds...(along with your amazing voice) :)

Hi Sisi!:) Well, I want to know: have you ever looked up to your life and thought about giving up on everything, this one moment when you just said 'I cant make it'? If there were, what made you think like that? And of course, what made you give up on giving up?

What is the best way for a fan to go and just talk with you? I mean, there are some crazy people out there and sometimes we, as fans, dont know what to do when we saw someone we like. Sometimes we went crazy and OH MY GOD, IS THAT SIMONE SIMONS? *jump for a hug* I'm sure that happens with you all the time! First time I saw you I didn't know what to do and I was a little bit in chock but this year I had the chance to talk again with you and you were so nice and lovely ( thanks for that). Just give us the tips!

Hi Simone!I wonder when the band Epica will return to Brazil, because I really want to go to the show and if there will be more cities included in the tour because I live far from major cities here.Kisses form Brazil!

Hello, Simone! First of all, I would like to compliment on your wonderful voice and on the well arranged sound of Epica. Secondly, my question is: when are you coming to Brazil??? But for you to make a video based upon something better, the reall question is: what's the sense of life in your opinion? My point is, what are we supposed, meant, bound to do or destined for when we are born on this marvellous Earth, but rife with all kind of troubles at the same time? You rock! I would love to meet you when I move from Brazil to Europe!

You are the only female member in Epica. How can you stand being around the guys for so long when you're out on tour?! We all know you like to shop and all that so what do you do when you need a break from the manliness? Hehe.

Hi Simone! Doing fine?Well, the question(s) is(are): Have you ever imagined to making that great success and traveling around being a rockstar and loved by fans around the world? What was your first reaction to the fame? Did it change with time?

Hello Simone! My questions are: how can you have hair so beautiful and cared for? What kind of color you use to dye it? I'd like to tell us that their product uses and how. I also wish I cared for and beautiful hair like yours! Help me! kisses, you're beautiful and talented!

If you had to go to a desert island (for whatever reason) and you could only bring one album with you (and, of course, something to play it with, haha!), which album would it be and why? :D(It doesn't matter if it's an album by Epica or someone else).

hi simone, you are so lovely and we all love you, my question is about your hair. what products you use for your hair treatment and colour?? because red colour is so hard to maintain and its also soo damaging..i am always wondering if it is about the german products... i hope you would like to answer my question ?? =)) love from Turkey<3

You are famous, younger and a too many fans loves you for your beauty. Do you feel as a Diva, do you think is important looks well or be handsome for to be popular. Whats the real clue for to be famous.

What are the biggest challenges of being a female singer in the "male dominated" field of heavy metal? Do you feel you have to prove yourself more or are you treated equally? I'm a female metal singer as well and was curious of your insights. -Chelsea

Hi Simo ! i'm Edgardo from Honduras, my question is, how could be you so pretty?, :S just kidding, that's not a question, is a fact !actually i wanted to know how you looked when you were just a little girl, maybe you can share a few photos and tell us something about it. Thanks Simo, love u !

Hi Simone!,I'm Mercedes and this is the very first time that I'm writing to you,I'm from Argentina and I totally love Epica and absolutely love your style!I have a few questions:1. how do you feel giving concerts in southamerica?2.How was the very first time that you realized that you wanted to sing in a metal band and how was your talk with the members of Epica for sing in the band?

Hi Simone! You always know how to be beautiful :) so please tell us something about your hair treatment! Which products you use, that your hair is so shiny, and healthy?Thank you!Kisses from Hungary :)Anna

Hi Simone!! There's something I would like to ask you because I think that your answer could help me a lot. Here is my question: How is it like to be the only girl in the band?? I'm a bassist, and I play quite well because I practice a lot, but I tried to join four different bands and they all said '' We're sorry, you're a wonderful and talented musician but we're all boys and having a female bassist would be umconfortable''. The worst thing about it is that all the bands I tried to join have chosen bassists who play much worse than me, just for being boys. I have proved my talent but they don't care about it. Who said that there's no sexism in metal world?

I really hope you can help me. Tank you so much for reading my question!!! Hugs and kisses from a little, sunny town in the south-east of Spain :)

Hello =)These questions might sound silly but I think they're interesting:) :- Do you speak English or German to Oliver?- Do you know Astrid van der Veen? That made me curious because she sang with After Forever and I think you've known Mark at the time.- If you watched Eurovision this year, which country was your favourite?- What's your father's favourite Epica song? (We already know that your mother loves Trois Vierges. ;))I'm looking forward to your video. =)

Do you still like what you are doing singing in a band or do you also want to do something else? I hope not because I love epica after every show I went I always feel so happy your music make me happy! :-) happy fan from holland

Hi, Simon! I'm your big fan from Russia. My questions are: Are you as bright and healthy hair, what hair color do you use?You have such a busy touring schedule and the obvious later almost no time to rest. You are very tired of this?I love you and metal-band Epica ))

hi simone, how is it going? well i wanted read the questions before to do mine, but is alot, :p, so i hope dont write the same agaian, so here is it.

from your position in metal music and all that you could do all this few years inside metal world, what do you think about metal music in latin america, what do you think about the future of metal culture, most especific gothic and simphony culture in our continent and what country specially remeber or enjoy your concerts, course from here in latin america, what do you thought about cali colombia when you came and the wrong stigma that we have around the world for drugs bussines, and when you return, all you?

i think is more than one question lol, but you can choose U_U, so for now bye and have a nice time angel of music ;)

Hi Simone,my name is Francisca and my question is, what do you do to be so beautiful, you take care with food?, gym?, tell us your beauty secrets for all women who will follow.I have seen in your blog that you recommend certain products or showing certain types of makeup and things that are of interest to women, my other question is, what you do for the hair frizz?ask not your voice, because as you're a singer, I think that you always ask about it (I can be wrong) wanted to know things you do not comment ever.greetings from Chile :-) (excuse my English, I tried to write with translator, and I hope you understand me)

Hi Lady Simons.I've got a question for you:I did see that you will take part in Mark J's new band MaYaN along with Floor J. and a lot of other great artists.My question is....Will this be the end of EPICA as we know it, or do you guys have the strength to keep both bands alive?

Hi Simone :)We all know you sang with Kamelot, Sons Of Seasons, MaYaN, Xystus, Primal Fear and Ayreon. But I'd like to know, out of the metal and rock scene, with whom would you like to duet (both male and female singers!)

Hello, Simone. I am a big fan of yours! I was a curiosity to know what your up against horoscope. Do not know if I believe in these things, but it's something pounding in my head. Incidentally, I'm the same sign you. I love knowing that I do not know, I can say that cheered me up in my study of music. Hahahahahah. Sounds silly, but ah ... I do not know much else to say. Incidentally, I have a thousand things to say, but do not want to fill your time with it too. That's it. Success! You're amazing!

you sing in a metal band but you don't look like a metalhead bad girl, so why did you become a metal singer, and what other kind of music do you listen? and another thing, you're make up it's always fantastic you should do make up artist, so why don't you do some make up tutorials for us fans,shure if you have time and enough energies..XDXD that's all...i hope you can answer me...thanx^^
